Go, Paul, will you? I'll get him away all right! You know's well as I that I can't help it now that Bruno's my own brother.
JOHN
All right. Then I'm one too many here. You c'n bill an' coo. [He is dressed for the street as it is and hence proceeds to go. Close by BRUNO he stands still.] You scamp! You worried your father into his grave. Your sister might better ha' let you starve behind some fence rather'n raise you an' litter the earth with another criminal like you. I'll be back in half an hour! But I won't be alone. I'll have the sergeant with me!
[JOHN leaves by the outer door, putting on his slouch hat.
So soon as JOHN has disappeared BRUNO turns and spits out after him toward the door.
BRUNO
If I ever gets hold o' you!
MRS. JOHN
Why d'you come, Bruno? Tell me, what's the matter?
